Baby

See what happens when we go away for 4 or 5 days? A baby alpaca arrives at our neighbours' farm and I miss all the excitement!

We left here on Thursday morning bound for Switzerland. Eric's niece was getting married on the Friday and then we had a few more days of celebrating before coming home on Monday. But that's the subject of another post - this one's about alpacas!

Here she is (yes, it's a girl so I'll have to wait a bit longer for my boy) :-

Isn't she a cutie? She was born on Saturday morning, 9th August. She's a light fawn colour, not many shades darker than white.

She hasn't quite got used to those long legs yet!

Now all she needs is a playmate! Oh, and a name. Hope Tammy and Rob don't take two weeks again to name her. This year's babies will all begin with a B, and they've had lots of suggestions so far, from Backpacka (!) to Bijou to Blondie and beyond. Brigitte Bardot maybe? Bria the Cria? Well, there's quite a list so we'll just have to wait and see what they decide.

About Me

Now in year 15 of our life in the slow-lane of Gascony France, the house is gradually getting renovated and our days are filled with building, gardening, spinning, dyeing, knitting, lots of music and socialising - not necessarily in that order.
